Abstract: 14,044. Jaques, F. O. June 15. Linear-dimension gauges.-The rough adjustment of the upper jaw of a calliper gauge, adapted in addition to measure the height of projections from a plane surface, is effected by means of a disk 22, Fig. 1, provided with a handle, which engages with one of a series of notches 9 in the vertical bar 7 of the gauge. The fine adjustment is effected by rotating a milled ring 31 which has a ratchet connexion with a screwed sleeve 26, Fig. 8, by means of a spring - controlled ball 41 and depressions 29, Fig. 10, on the underside of the flange of the sleeve. The rotation of the sleeve moves the vertical bar longitudinally, the rotation of the bar being prevented by a leather 12. When the upper or the lower surface of the upper arm 17 of the gauge engages with the object to be measured, the ball 41 allows the ring 31 to be rotated, without transmitting movement to the vertical bar. Adjustments are provided in the working parts to take up the effects of wear.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MEYERSBERG GUSTAV
IPC: F02C3/02
Filed: 1909-07-30
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 17,734. Meyersberg, G. Dec. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Reflexed - flow type; working-fluid supply.- In gas turbines of the kind in which the energy of the exploded gases is imparted to plugs of water, the plugs are thrown into chambers where they compress the charge of gas and from which the y are discharged through the port by which they entered. Fig. 3 shows a number of explosion chambers d arranged around a Stumpf wheel h. Pipes k and jets e on a rotary carrier throw in the charges of fuel and water, respectively, at suitable velocities. The compressed gas is exploded by a timed spark at the head of the chamber, and the water plug is discharged upon the wheel. The chambers may discharge axially instead of radially, and adjacent chambers may be connected by holes to ensure that compression and expansion are effective. Several modified forms of chambers are shown. In the axial flow construction shown in Fig. 7, two sets of chambers d are arranged back to back, but are connected at the centre so that one explosion discharges two plugs of water. Scavenging may be effected by a rotary pipe m blowing air under pressure through the chambers, or sucking atmospheric air through, or a pressure pipe may run along one side and a suction pipe along the other. The sparking-plug may be protected by fitting it round a corner in the explosion chamber. The turbine wheel and the rotary carrier k, e, m may be arranged to rotate in the same direction by providing deflecting-blades which alter the direction in which the plugs strike the wheel. Figs. 11 and 12 show a construction in which the turbine and carrier are combined in one wheel, t being the deflecting-blades. The fuel pipe k and flushing-air duct m are both supplied through the hollow shaft, and the water from the exhaust side q is circulated through a cooler back to the inlet r. The abrupt deflexion of the water jet at n, Fig. 11, may be avoided by forming the chamber d as shown in Fig. 14. The buckets on the wheel h, Fig. 12, need not be provided on the entire circumference. The water plugs may pass into diffusers, in which their velocity is converted into pressure. Special parts, such as the sparking-devices, may be water-jacketed. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the statement that the water carrier may be stationary and the explosion chambers rotate ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Safety Apparatus for use with Electrical Installations.
Inventor: WINSBOROUGH WALTER
IPC: H02H3/16
Filed: 1910-02-07
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 3013. Winsborough, W. Feb. 7. Cut-out arrangements.-Relates to arrangements for protecting electric installations, particularly mine-installations, against leakage, of the kind wherein a winding to control automatic circuit-breakers is connected between a neutral point of the system and the earth. The invention consists in using a sensitive relay to respond to the leakage current, and close the circuits of one or more additional relays which set in action the trip - devices of the circuitbreakers. Fig. 1 shows an installation with two alternatively-used three-phase generators a, b. The neutral point c of the generator which is in use is plugged to a terminal f, connected to a relay-winding h and thence to earth. If the leakage current attains a certain strength, which may be made very small, a circuit is closed at the terminals r, s, including a battery u and a winding t, which in turn closes a circuit including a generator w and the tripping-coils of circuit-breakers. A leakage-indicator 4 is connected to the bus-bars 1, 2, 3 through resistances 5, and may be plugged to the earth connexion when required. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 2, the wire 9 to earth, the wire g to the relay, and the wire 6 to the indicator, are led to terminals of a change-over switch 10. With mesh-wound generators, and on direct-current circuits, artificial neutral points are constructed by connexions to the bus-bars. The earthed wire is connected to the sheathing of the power cables, which is rendered electrically continuous by means of copper ties or clamps at the points of division or branching of the conductors.

Abstract: 4987. Sielaff, M. Aug. 25, 1909. Sale apparatus.-Relates to the apparatus for vending picture post cards &c. described in Specification 19,533/09, in which card-holders 10 pivoted to a magazine 11 are adapted to be rotated to permit the viewing of the cards in any container when it is in the position 10<a>, the top card being obtained from that container by inserting a coin and operating a pull-bar 15 The coin and delivery mechanisms described in the above - mentioned Specification are applicable generally, and are claimed in the present Specification. Delivery mechanism.-After prepayment, the purchaser operates a pull-bar 15, whereupon a frame 77 is caused to traverse guide-rods 78, and a pusher 16 carried by a spring-controlled arm 80 pivoted to the frame pushes the top card through the aperture 97, Fig. 3. The frame 77 is reciprocated by a lever 75, Fig. 2, pivoted to the framework at 74 and having a pin-andslot connexion 76 with the frame 77, the other arm 73 being operated first by a coin and then by a pawl 103, which is pivoted to a slide 64 and drops to engage the arm 73 when a pin 105 on the pawl escapes at 107 from the guidesurface 106, the pin being restored to the guidesurface during the return movement by a pivoted piece 109. A slide 96, Fig. 3, normally closing the slot 97, is raised to permit delivery of the card by the engagement of part of the frame 77 with a cam-surface on a lever 94, a weighted pawl 101, normally held up by the slide, simultaneously dropping into engagement with a rack on the frame 77, thereby preventing return of the parts until the card has been removed and the slide 96 has again fallen to close the slot. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The coin projecting from a pocket 14 in a slide 64, which is connected to the pull-bar by a spring 69, is drawn along a rack 71 and forms an abutment for the arm 73 of the lever 75, finally passing off the rack and falling through the aperture 108 to the money-box. The rack 71 ensures a complete forward movement of the coin.
